Show m And What Next War has been declared. Call It by term what you please, the fact remains the United Stotes has assumed armed Intervention in Mexican affairs. Wo have sailed our battleships Into Mexico's Mex-ico's prlnciplo harbors and landed our bluo JncketB on Mexican soli, and all this because the only derocto government govern-ment lu Mexico has insulted our tlag and refuses to mnko reperatlon. What the end will bo no man knows and probably tho angels in hcavon would be uuablo to tell. Certain It s that General Hiierta and his followers fol-lowers will not wolcomu the American Ameri-can army crossing their border, or tho American navy occupying their ports. Neither hnvo wo any assurances that Currunzn or his barbarous Villa will lay down their arms and be good citizens. Will It mean that either or both of these lighting factions will welcome our coming or will they simply or Jointly Join hands In retilstlng our Invasion? In-vasion? If they assume tho latter attitude at-titude then tho freo Importation of the millions or bullets that tho United ritates haB been sending ncroBS the border for tho past severnl monthB will probably be used to plerco tho breasts of from a quarter to u half .iillllou American soldiers. It mn he that tho Mexicans having exhausted themselves through years of elt II striro and blood shed will w Iconic our Intervention. Cortnln It s that they could make no better dc-isluu, dc-isluu, and almost equally certain It is that this Is the only courso that will bring peace to our distracted sister sis-ter The ronsensls of foreign opinion Is that the course taken was tho only course to be taken by our President, flic same authorities say that tho l ultid States has undertaken the biggest big-gest job in Its history nnd that having hav-ing entered on tlio Job, Undo Sam cannot loy aside tho task until tho dove of peace returns and a stablo mveriuiient has been set up. How this 111 he accomplished no ono seems to now it may mean years of flght-,ng. flght-,ng. tl may mean tho sacrifice of many ulliloiis of wealth nnd tho sacrifice jf thousands of American lives, and .t may finally mean tho annexation r Mexico to tho Lulled States. . o |
